Pakistanis may not be the most thriving nation in the world, and we accept our shortcomings, but there is one thing we are certainly passionate about, and that’s food – particularly biryani.

The iconic dish has variants in India and all across Southeast Asia.

Biryani is our red line.

Biryani is an emotion. You can’t call it “just rice”

In a similar debate, England’s captain, Moeen Ali, recently went viral on social media after he told reporters that he was disappointed with Lahore’s food and said ‘Karachi was nice’.
